The Crescent Company, “Birdville” Toms River, N. J. 
and there are plenty of small, yellow- 
button chrysanthemums everywhere. 
In the border the same flowers are used, 
but, unlike the square garden, there is 
more of informality in the arrangement 
and less of balance. Lilies are at the end 
of the path, where they form a fitting 
climax to the walk, and around the circle 
and the little statue are yellow daffodils 
succeeded by pale yellow snapdragons and 
purple stock, as well as the always de¬ 
sirable heliotrope. The little borders are 
irregular and composed of heliotrope, 
aubretias, violets, primulas and Iceland 
poppies with the little bulbs among them. 
At the back of the border are asters, 
heleniums and lemon - colored cactus 
dahlias. A fluffy mass of lavender-colored 
statice is just outside the hedge and there 
are scattered bunches of iris and phlox 
everywhere. The trollius, or tall double 
buttercup, for early spring, and lemon lilies 
for June, Hemerocallis Thunbergii (late) 
and Hava (early) form accents on each 
side of the path at the lower end. The 
late yellow columbine and yellow-button 
chrysanthemums are used in long drifts. 
Between the chrysanthemums are tulips 
and between the columbines are gladioli, 
making in these spaces two crops of flow¬ 
ers. Tulips are scattered in irregular 
clumps of ten or twelve all along on each 
side of the central path. 
Outside the garden for a background 
are some yellow birches contrasting with 
some dark green hemlocks, with daffodils 
in the grass and witch hazel and Cornus 
mas back against the fence. 
In estimating the quantities of peren¬ 
nials needed allow 2' apart for large plants, 
1' apart for the medium ones and 6" to 8" 
for the little border plants. For bulbs 
allow for the large ones 12", medium 
6" to 8" and for the tiny ones 3" to 6". 
The purple-and-gold garden would be 
full of life and color, yet there would be 
no discords. The gray stone walks and 
planting would make the flowers seem 
still more vivid by contrast. The garden 
would look well with a stone house. 
The cost is not great, comparatively 
speaking. Many perennials can be raised 
from seed, and the shrubs can be bought 
in small sizes if the owner is not impatient 
for immediate effect.
